Mannions brother is a colourful characterā¦ā¦
Football
Hopefully
He went for mayo believe it or not, albeit said maybe going with his heart
Probably had a monkey on them knowing ROG
Was talking about Jim Gavin
How does he do it.
Maybe not in that case
Royston in great form in Briodys with the Nemo rangers crew
I was in there as well and spotted him.
He was in the same seat as last year when we engaged him in conversation.
Iāve really warmed to that pub.
It was busy in there and tough to get served.
There was a barman out collecting glasses and the father in law asked him for three pints.
āGo to the bar you mad yokeā was the response followed by āIāll get them for you in a second!ā
Itās one of my favourite spots in Dublin.
The Guinness is consistently excellent in there as well.
Whatās JPās connection to the place?
Heās far from a pub man so for him to be in there most years after All Irelandās is very odd. I know the son Kieran is a big drinking man and goes there regularly with Nicky but youād think JP would need more than that to be in there.
He dropped 3 grand cash in there last week apparently.
Yeah Kieran was there with Nicky, Pat Fox, Paul Nolan and Gordon Elliot. I was told Kieran said to him to pop in for one with Jim and they arrived in a taxi.
2 grand including a drink for the staff but we wonāt fight over it. ![]()
Kieran and Nicky are great friends so its no wonder Nicky says what does about the Limerickās.
Nicky had him as a selector on the UCD Fitzgibbon Cup team from around 2013-2017. He hadnāt much of a clue about hurling but was good craic by all accounts and always made sure there was plenty cans for the bus journeys home from games/pay for stop off in Foxās in Cashel after a game in the Mardyke or CIT.
